Amen, John Cleese!

Brilliant comedian, and former Monty Pythonite, John Cleese talked about PC culture. At first, I, of course, tried to be PC and polite, but it was tiresome and made me capitulate to those who are overly sensitive, and for some for whom I care little. There is, however, a difference between politically incorrect and vulgarity and crassness. I wish to become civil, but not stale. This is, in my estimation, the only useful thing Trump has brought to national conversation, a disregard of PC culture. Yes, I believe that black lives matter, but it is because I believe all lives matter. I, as a child of a Mexican immigrant, know firsthand that very few are dangerous. (I would place any immigration issue on NAFTA and Mexico's political culture of corruption.) But, do I find it offensive? No! It's silly, and my family's, and my own, work ethic disprove that. There must be a medium between (as Bill Maher put it) the PC police and the Baltimore Police. Has Trump appealed to some of the basest portions of our culture? Yes! Either way, his realization that being PC is silly is good for us, but he has confused it with being civil and respectable. Without saying anything else, enjoy!
